Spirit HD is cast from the same mould as old school arcade classics Asteroids and Space Invaders.

Steakfries is the kind of beer-swilling, gun-toting, flame-throwing real man that all of us with a surfeit of testosterone would love to be. Even Barry has his limits, though – has he bitten off more than he can chew against a horde of time-travelling zombies?

Tower defence games are ten-a-penny these days but few of them look as good or play as well as Fieldrunners HD. Build up your defences to fight off advancing enemies with a variety of different weapons. The more enemies you kill, the more cash you amass, and the more sophisticated your defences can become.
